| I seriously doubt it. What you are talking about is drastically changing the aspect ratio, so it would be like having a 1920x1080 monitor display ~1920x320. That's not a resolution that exists in the monitor's firmware so unless you can maybe rewrite the firmware, it's not happening. Not to mention ... |

| The new Nvidia cards make no sense for Surround. Meager vRAM for high-end cards but still more expensive. I've done GTX 470 SLI and now I've got 6950 CF. No complaints about scaling or gaming experience. With the Radeon 5 cards, AMD's CF kind of sucked, especially with EF, but that's all fixed with ... |

| While it sucks that there's no support for this game, it would be messed up to play across three monitors during the dialogue sequences, which are half of the game and the heart of the game. Characters on the side screens would, as they always do with this tech, appear distorted and ridiculous. Does... |

I ran 3x25.5" Surround and I always thought it made no sense that the screen sizes were the same. Given the angled orientation, ... |

Case in point: I started playing Eve Online again after a year, and in the latest patch, multi-monitor stretching support was created. So now I can drag windowed Eve client across all three of my screens, even though they... |

Considering that there's nothing to actually do in the city other than follow the main storyline, this is just a bizarre decision. You literally drive around to play chaperone for NP... |

| Tron is an odd duck. It seems to get a little love, but no one I know actually talks about it or cares about it. Was there anything to the original other than some novel aesthetics? A good Tron game came out years ago, but it was nothing spectacular - no one ever reminisces about that, either. |

| I'd love to be a fly at the wall at Bethesda/Zenimax. Why the hell won't they fire their awful engine and animation team and use RAGE engine from id Software, which seems like it would be perfect for this type of game and setting? No one outside the aforementioned companies seems to know. |

| How can the game be certified if you can't even get full use of your screen with 16:10 aspect ratio? I run at 25x16 and it is horizontally boxed top and bottom. I don't recall this happening on my 19x12 screen, though. |

Just a quick note for the uninitiated - Facebook replaced its "become a fan" button with "like", so you'll want to click that.
I own a KTA 325 stand I bought from Ergotech, and it's great. It supports my 3x25.5" config and it will also fit with my planned 30" x (2) 20" all in Landscape mode. |
